HOUSE REFUSES j
TO FIX PRICE OF
WHEAT AT $2.51)!
Senate and McLaughlin Amend
ments Establishing New
Wheat Prices Defeated
in House. ;
Washington Bureau of The
Omaha Bee, 1311 G Sstreet.
Washington, ( April 18. (Special
Telegram.) The house! by a vote of
160 to 98, today refused to concur in
the senate amendment fixing the price
of wheat at $2.50 per bushel and this
refusal to concur sends the agricul-
fnral onnrrtnriatinn hill hark" tr rmi-
ference where in all probability the
conferees will seek to reach a com
promise on the senate amendment.
The real vote however came on the j
McLaughlin amendment fixing the!
price of wheat at $2.50 per bushel at j
primary markets.
While the McLaughlin amendment
was beaten the vote being 128 for to
180 against, it was sufficiently large to
"give the con.'erees on the agricultural
bill some serious moments before they
again report an agreement.
On the McLaughlin amendment
Reavis, Sloan, Shallenberger and Kin
kaid voted aye, Lobeck voting no.
Reavis, Sloan and Shallenberger made
speeches in favor of putting a price
of $2.50 on wheat at primary points.

FOCH TO DELIVER
DECISIVE STROKE
Ottawa, A,pr'l 18. Anxiety as to
when General Foch will make use of
the allied reserve is expressed in a
dispatch from London to Reuter's
agency here today.
"There is ftill anxiety as to when
General Foch will make the decisive
stroke, now that the British have
itood four weeks of hammering by
;he immense German reserves, esti
mated at 420,000 men, in a fashion
which led the French writers to de
scribe the British armies as the 'wing
of sacrifice,'" says the dispatch.
"Experts do not endorse the opin
ion advanced in some quarters that
the advance, critical in the northern
theater, has 'been definitely checked.
It is agreed that the Germans have
not obtained the decisive results
aimed at, tnanks to the extreme stuo
bornness of the British resistance.
"The battle in fact, appears to
have been following the course of the
?reat series cf German thrusts of Oc
tober, 1914, which ended in failure

RAILROADS MUST
HAND OVER FULL
PRICE TOR COAL
Washington, April 18 Railroads
hereafter will purchase their coal at
the full market price and cars will
be evenly distributed at all mines, un
der an arrangement reached by the
railroad and fuel administration.
The plan was accepted after Presi
dent Wilson intervened to settle dif
ferences between Fuel Administrator
Garfield and John Skelton Williams,
director of purchases for the railroad
administration.
The fuel administration objected to
sales of coal to railroads at prices
less than those charged other con
sumers and to the system whereby
railroads gave a 100 per cent car sup
ply to mines supplying coal for rail
road use, while other mines suffered
from car shortage. One effect of the
arrangement, it was pointed out to
day, will be that all consumers will
share alike in coal distribution.

Washington, April 18. The admin
istration silver bill, introduced by
Senator Pittman of Nevada, providing
for the withdrawal from the treasury
of $350,000,000 in silver dollars to be
melted into bullion to meet the for
eign trade balances, was passed today
by the senate without a roll call, and
after brief debate. The bill goes to
the house.
A brief debate preceded the passage
of the bill, its supporters declaring

ative as emergency war legislation.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts said
that because of the great demand due
to the war silver must be supplied,
and that there was no other way to
obtain it except as provided in the
bill.
